1 Day Trip from Fes to Chefchaouen

Nestled at the foot of the raw peaks of the Rif Mountains, Chefchaouen is one of Morocco’s most captivating destinations. It is an ethereal mountain sanctuary bathed in countless shades of blue, creating a world unto itself. While discovered by travelers, the city gracefully balances its popularity with an enduring, authentic spirit. The old medina is a mesmerizing labyrinth where Andalusian-style red-tiled roofs create a striking contrast against the iconic blue-washed walls that line the narrow, winding lanes.

At the heart of Chefchaouen lies the vibrant Uta el-Hammam square and the restored Kasbah, where local life unfolds. While it once held a reputation as a simple haven for backpackers, the city has since blossomed into a sophisticated destination, offering exceptional accommodations, diverse culinary experiences, and a wealth of activities. It provides a tranquil respite from the intensity of Morocco’s larger imperial cities, making it an ideal setting for leisurely exploration. Beyond the city walls, the lush, rolling hills of the countryside beckon the adventurous.
